Missing script/generate in Rails 3 - ruby-on-rails

I just installed Rails 3 and created my first app. The install of Rails3 + ruby 1.9 went very smoothly but I am missing the generate script in script/generate.
I have created a new app from scratch with no options to verify.
Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

all script/* commands has been removed from rails 3. You should use rails generate or rails g instead of script/generate, rails server or rails s instead of script/server and so on.

try
rails generate ...
the only script existing now is rails all others will be called as parameter of rails.
Take a look a the Ruby on Rails Guides: Getting Started with Rails

Having some problems using Rails 3, keeps going to Rails 4

I'm relatively new to Ruby, and Rails, I need to use Rails version 3.2.19, for some tutorials I'm following along, I get all kinds of errors trying to follow along with Rails 4...anyways, when I do: gem install rails --version=3.2.19, it shows that it installed it. When I do rails -v, it shows Rails 4.1.5....I thought maybe if I create a new Rails app, specifying version 3.2.19, that would work. Surprise, it showed up as Rails 4.1.5 in my Gemfile...what gives? I tried manually changing it in the Gemfile and running bundle install, but then everything breaks when I fire up the Rails server...I searched those errors on here, and no surprise, all the answers were about how those are errors when trying to use Rails 3, in an app that was generated with Rails 4.
I'm really stumped about this folks and would appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!
1)please install rvm if YES,check the rvm ls
and set ruby 1.9.3 as default.and then make new project
2)can you see the which version of ruby using if 2+ then it will be rails 4
if you want to use rails 3 then use 1.9.3 ...
Are you doing rails _3.2.19_ new myapp
when you're generating your app?
Also when you change rails version on your Gemfile, you have to run bundle update rails to update the version.

Ruby on Rails:-Rails s and Rails Server commands all create new projects

I am experiencing some weird rails behaviour:
When I do the following commands
rails new blog
rails s
rails server
The result for each is a new project, that is 3 folders names new, s, server, all with a new rails project in them
...why is this happening?? I have a feeling it may have to do with the versions I am using, I used rvm to update from 1.87 to 2.0 for Ruby and I just installed rails 2.3.14
I am using xubuntu which also just switched from Unity.
It looks like you are trying to use a Rails 3.x command with Rails 2.3. Pre 3.0 you have to use the server script.
From within your application directory run:
./script/server
Hope this helps.

Why does Ruby "script/generate" return "No such file or directory"?

I am having trouble using script/generate. I am following the tree based navigation tutorial, which says to use script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/acts_as_tree.git or script/generate nifty_layout.
I keep getting:
No such file or directory -- script/plugin
I've tried these variations:
script/generate nifty_layout
rails generate nifty_layout
ruby script/generate nifty_layout
ruby generate nifty_layout
and they all tell me:
-bash: script/generate: No such file or directory
Am I missing something? Total ruby nuby here and I just can't seem to find an answer.
edit: rails 3 on Mac OS X 10.6
Rails 3 is your problem (or rather the cause of). Since rails 3 all of the "script/whatever" commands have been replaced with "rails whatever".
So now you want "rails generate ..." or "rails server" instead.
Be sure to watch version numbers or post dates when looking at tutorials :)

Missing script/generate in Rails 3
There is a LOT of out-of-date information on the interwebs for Rails now as a result of it evolving quickly and being so popular. I use the Ruby on Rails Guides as my first stop for information as those pages seem to be the most current.
The rails generate info seems current.
you may try a couple things, first, make sure since you are using rails 3 that you have run 'bundle install'. depending on how you installed rails and which version of bundler you are using, it may not be finding your rails binary to execute the rails generate .. so you may try prefixing it with bundle exec rails g but that is deprecated and you should get a warning if you call it. Also, make sure you are following ryan's instructions for rails 3 (and run bundle install once you add to the gemfile) on his library: https://github.com/ryanb/nifty-generators
As a shortcut to rails server, you can use 'rails s'. Similarly for the console, 'rails c'.

Ruby on Rails: switching from rails 2.3.8 to 3.0.3

In my env I require 3.0.3
but when I script/server
I get this: can't activate rails (= 2.3.8, runtime) for [], already activated rails-3.0.3
I don't want it to activate 2.3.8.. =\
Rails 3.x doesn't use script/server anymore - you should run your server with rails server or rails s. You can delete all the files from script, except for script\rails.
Plus, you no longer specify your Rails version in environment.rb (if that's what you mean by "env"). All gems and their versions are specified in your Gemfile.
Did you follow a guide like Upgrading to Rails 3? It's not enough to just change the Rails version in evironment.rb.
The command to run the server in Rails 3 is rails server. What happens if you run that?
Rails 3 uses
rails server
command instead of
ruby script/server
Check environment.rb to make sure that you're not specifying rails 2.3.8 explicitly. If you are then you need to make sure you've upgraded to bundler properly.
My suggestion is to generate an empty rails 3 project and look at how the generated files and make sure your app looks similar.

Why do I have problems running script/x tasks after installing rails 3 beta?

I installed rails 3 beta in my OSX Leopard. After that, I've created a rails project to test it. From inside its folder, I just can't do script/generate, or even script/server.
It returns '-bash: script/server: No such file or directory'. How could I resolve this issue?
Rails 3 has done away with script/*. Use rails server, rails generate, etc. while in your app's directory.
Run rails --help to get the full list.
In Rails 3, instead of using script/*, use rails. So instead of writing script/generate use rails g (alias of generate) and instead of script/server use rails s (alias of server).
The additional usage of port/environment is the same as in Rails 2. So you can add the port 3005 (default is 3000) with production environment as rails s -p 3005 -e production. Hope that will solve your problem.
